Sanford finished the regular season at 16-4. The Warriors are 12-0 against Delaware opponents, with the closest win coming by 17 points.

This one was decided by a 14-0 run in the first quarter, as Sanford forced the Buccaneers to take long 3-pointers and ran with the rebounds.

“I think we played really good defense,” said Warriors point guard Lauren Park-Lane, who controlled the flow with 16 points and six assists. “… We emphasize that defense is our bread and butter. So that’s what we came out to do. Play defense, and scoring comes second.”

Sanford led 38-21 at the half. Caravel showed determination in the second half, but could get no closer than 14. The Buccaneers, who reached the state championship game last season, finished their regular season at 11-8 against one of the state’s toughest schedules.
